As I start the second month of our new business financial year I find myself getting a strange enjoyment from using our new accounting system - KASHFLOW.
Nothing unusual here you might say, but I'm the kind of person who has NEVER taken an interest in this side of the business. It's always been someone else's job. The words 'barge pole' come to mind - and a long barge pole at that!!
It might seem strange then that it was me who researched and introduced the new system for 194media.
In 1997, we began using PC based payroll and accounting software from a well-known company. However, when the annual support charge for payroll went up to what I felt was just too steep, we switched to the Payroo online system.
With no backups to worry about and all the tax legislation automatically updated, it was - and is - very quick and simple to use, with end of year figures submitted to HMRC.
Support for our accounting programme came to an end and I always worried about computer crashes and lost data - not to mention that we had almost completely switched to using MACs.
I started looking around at the start of the year and took the free three month KASHFLOW trial. It was great. Easy to get around and simple to use - and being an online system, programme updates are a thing of the past - they just 'happen'!!
There are lots of optional add-on features as well. But wait, I've said enough. This is not like me at all and any suggestion that I might start to 'enjoy' getting involved in managing accounts is very worrying indeed!!
